SEED CORN THAT WILL GROW 
West Branch Sweepstakes - Cornell No. 11 
Air Drying Seed Corn 
This is the most excellent method of curing seed corn where conditions are favorable. Here on the shore of one 
of the finger lakes our seed corn is grown until it is fully ripe and then thoroughly air dried, as freezing weather is 
unknown until very late. Proper curing is the secret of good seed corn.
